She does it all naturally, all I have to do is learn from her. I must say I learned a lot from your post.

I think that it is wonderful that you are taking on this adventure and I look forward to hearing more about it.<br /><br />I read your comment today on my post and we attend handling classes for the boys to practice on their show stuff. The classes are great and the instructor points you in the right direction. I tried showing Sherman myself but I don&#39;t have the nerves to do it, so we now have a handler show them. I wish I could get up the confidence myself to do it because it would be so rewarding! Maybe some day:)jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08111366525685780384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-9201391311724940572011-04-11T21:05:15.932+02:002011-04-11T21:05:15.932+02:00@Georgia

And it is for fun only. Maybe we do some competetions but that is about it.<br /><br />When you and The Other Half are hiding so Georgia can find you is a great game. Actually you are already doing SAR :)Kenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113604410676702370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-45226869808190800982011-04-11T15:05:22.488+02:002011-04-11T15:05:22.488+02:00Aha! I see what you meant by G problem solving now...Aha! I see what you meant by G problem solving now :) <br /><br />Tracking sounds like fun. Do you do tracking of real animals eventually or is this strictly an exercise? Georgia is a natural tracker, which worries me a little since I don&#39;t like the idea of her actually catching anything. Her nose is in the ground almost as soon as the gate is open. It can be a bit painful on our arms if she suddenly picks up a scent while on the leash! Her faves are cats and possums which is one reason I hate taking her out when it gets dark. I&#39;m sure Kenzo is a much better behaved and more disciplined tracker than her :) Sometimes I or The Other Half will hide so she can find us. I think she quite likes that game. It&#39;s all just silly fun for us:) <br />.georgia little peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388133043071314431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-55390648297709013402011-04-11T05:12:36.026+02:002011-04-11T05:12:36.026+02:00Really interesting!

You are reading my mind :) we are working...@Deborah<br />You are reading my mind :) we are working on video&#39;s with Kenzo!<br /><br />@Pamela<br />It is very interesting indeed. I am working on some scent discrimination blogs/videos with Kenzo. It is amazing what they can do by scent ... and on their own. We humans only get in the way and complicate things :)<br /><br />@Kristine<br />Please do! It is so fullfilling. It will also built Shiva&#39;s confidence. Did you see my &quot;How to going your first track&quot; ? Hope that helps, would love to hear about your experiences!Kenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113604410676702370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-41915838679748231212011-04-10T20:22:04.745+02:002011-04-10T20:22:04.745+02:00I have always thought tracking sounded like so muc...I have always thought tracking sounded like so much fun. It&#39;s teaching the dog how to use and follow his own instincts. I have watched a lot of scent trials and scent work and I always find it so fascinating, the things dogs are capable of doing.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the video. I haven&#39;t seen any classes like this offered her but it may be something fun to try on our own.Kristinehttp://rescuedinsanity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-29511116176523500412011-04-10T14:38:12.041+02:002011-04-10T14:38:12.041+02:00Teaching dogs how to solve problems on their own i...Teaching dogs how to solve problems on their own is such a fascinating idea. I&#39;m always amazed at the thoughtful ways trainers come up with to reinforce creative problem solving.<br /><br />The idea of the scent box is very interesting. In the nose work class I took, the approach was to start with treats and later move to an artificial scent, like birch oil. This notion of pairing the food with the human scent right from the start looks like a strong beginning.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13768027087753712341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-66141321565922142402011-04-10T07:13:53.252+02:002011-04-10T07:13:53.252+02:00This is so interesting.
